MICRO ELECTRO MECHANICAL SYSTEMS CERTIFICATE PROGRAM MEMS is an interdisciplinary field related to technologies used to fabricate nano to micro scale devices and system-on-a-chip. The MEMS devices and systems embed electrical, mechanical, chemical, and hybrid mechanisms to realize devices and systems for a broad array of applications such as physical sensors, biomedical systems, and complex multi- functional nano-micro systems. MEMS combine expertise from many disciplines, including but not limited to all fields of engineering, biology, chemistry, informatics, medicine, and physics. Typical MEMS devices combine sensing, processing and/or actuating functions. They typically combine two or more electrical, mechanical, biological, magnetic, optical or chemical properties on a single microchip.

The objective of the program is to provide a means for students interested in this interdisciplinary field a mechanism to obtain a concentration in MEMS and to gain acknowledgement for this achievement. MEMS Certificate Program Requirements. The flexible curriculum is based on the fabrication, design, and applications of MEMS.

NANOTECHNOLOGY CERTIFICATE PROGRAM PRE-SURVEY

What is Nanotechnology?

Nanotechnology is the engineering of functional systems at length scales spanning 1 – 100 nm. It is having a revolutionary impact on a wide range of science and engineering fields.

To learn more: www.nano.gatech.edu

Why should I study Nanotechnology?

Nanotechnology education will prepare you for exciting career opportunities in areas such as electronics, energy, information technology, pharmaceuticals, and medicine. It will also

prepare you for cutting-edge research opportunities in graduate school.
